On the Road Again: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee
Sorry I haven't been posting...been really busy lately.
Anyway, my family is awesome enough to go to *unnamed town, island, or city near the coast near Savannah*, Georgia, so we're on the road, from *unnamed midwestern city* to GA. Right now, we're in Tennessee, we actually just left the Nashville area. But first, Illinois.
I don't know if I put this in my info, but I currently reside in the WAAAAY Upper States, making my journey a whopping 12+ hr drive to the South. Our route? First through the Windy City, then Indiana, and diagonal through that state. Next comes Kentucky, diagonal through that, then TN, go straight across, and finally, Georgia. Man, I can't WAIT to lounge with my friends on the beach! I'm so excited!
We started driving at 7:30 am Central Standard Time, and right now, it's 7:35 pm Eastern Standard Time(I think that's what it's called), so almost 11 hours, since you gain an hr going east. You won't BELIEVE what I've seen--
•an elderly man in Nashville not wear a shirt and drive *shudders*
•a young girl at a rest stop in Indy tell her mom in a bathroom stall that they were sharing that she "didn't know you wore a toe ring"
•That Trident Vitality gum is REALLY GOOD (the pomegranate kind)
•how many trees were on one hill in KY
•That there are tons of wind mobiles in IN.
More pics to come--no wifi for awhile!

First REAL post, Divergent
Title: Divergent (Divergent Trilogy #1)
Author: Veronica Roth
Genre: Sci-Fi, Dystopian fiction
Published by: Katherine Tegen Books, an imprint of HarperCollins
Pub Year:2010
Rating: 5/5
“In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves… or it might destroy her.”(copy/pasted off Veronica Roth's webpage, www.veronicarothbooks.com--thanks!)
Call me unoriginal for putting her blurb up, but it would be better than mine...
ANYWAY.
This was a great Dystopian novel, in a marvelous city...coughChicagocough...and definetly had me glued to it. I loved the book so much, I actually had it taken away during class by my Social Studies teacher. Lmbo. I did get it back, and as soon as I did, I kept reading it! Tris is the perfect heroine, and Tobias...oh, Tobias...dreamy, strong, Tobias...*snaps out of daydream* isagreatheroaswell...:):):)
Hardcover: $11.42 US, at Barnes and Noble. May be priced higher in other countries or at other stores.
Paperback: $9.99 US, at Barnes and Noble. May be priced higher in other countries or at other stores.
